Flutter Nutter's Exciting Find!

So today, Flutter Nutter goes shopping with Mom to find the perfect cake decoration for his birthday cake!
Which will be a whole other post.
Shopping was going so well, we stopped into the Dollar Tree to find treasures for his gift bags.
What does Flutter Nutter find??
Blue Candy Canes! His first thought....
Big Brother, aka "Daddy's Buddy"
Daddy's Buddy does not get red dye.
It affects him emotionally, tremendously affects him.
Christmas was a little disappointing last year, I couldn't find any non-red dye candy canes.
I couldn't find the white ones we had bought him the year before.
But today....
Flutter Nutter is big brother's hero.
Best part is we can have candy canes in the house this year.
I was not going to buy candy canes again this year if we would leave out Daddy's Buddy!
No worries there.
This smile was perfect and a thrill for the whole family.

Merry Christmas to Daddy's Buddy!

One of my favorite things...

As strange as it may sound, one of my things is to grade English papers.

English papers allow the student a lot of room for creativity and expressing themselves. Today's paper is actually Fun Mom's test.
assignment: Think of a name for a female lion. (answer must be written in first-person, possessive case)
Her answer: "I would name my lioness Heather."
So my question, does she think of me as a lioness?
Does she, finally, believe me when I say, "...or I will eat you!"
Is she scared of me and what might happen if she is caught doing what she should not?
Something to think on.... As for her test grade, I won't share. But that may be a future post should she read this one and have some other remarks to make! ;)
